Cutting costs is often a good idea, but something like food is fundamental to your health. A dollar saved today on food is paid back with interest years later to the evil and corrupt medical industry.
Meat, eggs, dairy, fruit, vegetables, nuts, herbs, spices whole foods don't even cost much more and often comes out cheaper than buying the health expect approved goyslop. It definitely tastes a lot better.
The financial situation seems pretty hopeless at times. Do the math on a $2.50 20oz coke at the gas station compounded at 9% interest for 30 years to see what it's really costing you. $36.83, basically just multiply the cost of everything by 14 and that's the real price. Skipping a coke probably won't have a negative effect on health, and you can still enjoy the taste of sugar and high of caffeine from tea which which is much cheaper. But skipping something like eggs or meat the numbers are a little harder to run. Our food supply is so fucked even trying to eat well that you're better off growing what you can, even if it's just a hanging basket of herbs. Organic is just as bad or worse, they still use pesticides, fertilizer, etc., and it's hard to believe the usda is really flying out to timbuktu and monitoring the crop production 24/7 for quality purposes. Most likely Juan or Ugwebidle or Xong Jing Mai is just paying the government $xxxxx for the rights to print usda organic on their packaging, labels, and stickers.
The system is designed to create slaves, extract as much value as possible upfront whire they're working, then when they get sick and can't work any more squeeze them again even harder so they die penniless. In an ideal world you'd be able to build a house using local materials and produce your own food and water using processes you trust and know. It would be cheaper and take much less time than waging to get basic food/shelter. Which is precisely why it's either illegal outright or encumbered with so much red tape you give up after a cursory glance.

It's especially obvious what they're doing with stuff like alcohol. Beer, wine, and spirits cost is something like 70% tax 10% advertising and logistics, 8% ingredients/packaging and remainder profit.
It's just yeast and sugar. Beer makes sense it's expensive because getting the sugar usable is a process, but wine and cider is very straightforward, it's already in usable form when picked.
You can of course just not drink. But it goes to show how fake expensive everything is. A pack of cigarettes is just a few cents of a plant that is easily grown on a personal scale. The work to make a 75 gallon batch of wine(split between two 55gallon drums) could have you set for a year, but even at $5/bottle that's $1,825. If you make it yourself it will probably be closer in quality to the $15/bottle stuff, so call it $5,000. How many hours do you have to work for $5,000? Picking, pressing, racking, racking again, and bottling can be done over four or five days. Round it up to one work week full time hours and that's $125/hr or $250,000/year.

I mean I have to cut out meat mostly alot
Grains and slop is the cheap near free part
I should have just grainslopped spend no money
I could have saved a lot
The enjoyment of that money could honestly been spent elsewhere
I could have bought hardware

I'm talking reducing everything so much to the bare minimum except to the point where you wanna kys that is.s..

I'm still trying to min max the best possible povert diet

I could have easily saved another 7500 maybe
Why did I spend that on food and goyslop it was not worth it honestly considering you have nothing left to enjoy
I would have valued hardware more now that I think about it
It would have had residual value
Now that I've eaten like a slave this past month I think it's actually doable I could do it
No idea why I didn't
